TPG Telecom has wrapped up a 5G 12-month smart-farming trial at Tamworth Regional Livestock Exchange in northern New South Wales, featuring the automation of counting cattle which has the potential to save farmers time, money, and productivity.
By using 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), image processing, and cloud and edge computing services, the new tech solution aims to remove human error to enable saleyard managers to verify, monitor, and report on cattle numbers in real-time, with higher accuracy, and without the need to be physically present.
TPG Telecom deployed 5G, artificial intelligence, image processing, and cloud edge computing services to implement the solution, which aims to eliminate human error.

The 5G smart solution can help deliver greater certainty for buyers and sellers alike, providing clear evidence the cows arriving at the saleyard are the same cows leaving when sold.”
The trial’s 5G and AI-image processing capabilities featured multiple high-definition video streams to count cattle entering and exiting the saleyards, relaying data in real-time back to the saleyard manager via an application on a…
